So the battle commenced. In the midst of which, Justine seemed to be attempting to convince Lily that Mariette had destroyed Penrose. She didn't have anything particularly reasonable argument for the case, yet Lily seemed to be seriously considering it. 

[color=077ae6]‘If you have reasonable accusations to levy against me, I will hear them out. The partial destruction of Penrose was caused by monsters abusing the fact the majority of Penrose's Magical Girls, [i]me included[/i], was trapped inside a Lesser Force's beach dimension,’[/color] Mariette told, clearly irritated. [color=077ae6]‘Lily. I trust you,’[/color] she then followed, because reasoning with Justine was too much to ask.

Then Void World happened. Because of course it did. Mariette had been updated that some upstart created a portal unlike her own to make them escape the ambush, which was annoying. The portal girl made a mental note that if that girl showed up again she'd be the first one to be taught a lesson. The wave passed Mariette, and...

It was very strange. Despite not relying on magic at all when it came to standing up, she still felt weak and about to fall over. It was possible Eli was the one who caught her, if it wasn't Hilaria, Eli looking on with worried eyes. Yet, that was not important next to the following event. The world itself. It was... Needed to address Alexander's question.

[color=077ae6]‘... There's no non-magical exit,’[/color] she answered him, and then brought her communicator to her lips. [color=077ae6]‘Everyone. Leena's Void World is causing the whole dimension to collapse. Neutralize her or everyone here will be dead in five minutes. I repeat. Neutralize Leena is a new primary and urgent objective.’[/color]

... And seeing how Mariette is now utterly powerless, that's all she could do.

A lot of things happened as the wave of anti-magic went by, but perhaps one of the most pronounced was...

One second, Mikayla was floating there, with her army of spirits, in-battle and powerful, her Powerful Aura echoing over the scenery...

Then Void World wave passed.

... And there was no sign of her. It was like Mikayla had never even been there. She was gone.

[hr]

In a different dimension entirely, Mikayla woke up. She stared a bit absently at the ceiling.

Turns out [i]astral projecting[/i] is a little difficult in a world where magic is cut. Not only was the magic in her projection cut, the portal through which Mariette was allowing her to project through was also cut. Seems Mikayla's part in this battle was over.

Oh, well.
